The Future of Chip Design: A Conversation with Bolaji Ojo

In a recent interview with Bolaji Ojo, co-founder of The Ojo-Yoshida Report, Veriest CEO Moshe Zalcberg shared insights on the evolving landscape of chip design and verification. The discussion comes just weeks before DVCon U.S., 2025 where Moshe will moderate the panel “Are AI Chips Harder to Verify?” featuring experts from Siemens EDA, AMD, Meta, Groq, and MatX.

Based on extensive industry engagement and hands-on experience, several key trends emerge in today’s chip design landscape:

  1. AI chips present unprecedented complexity in design and verification compared to traditional SoCs
  2. Current design teams are stretching existing methodologies to their limits
  3. New technologies and tools are emerging to address these challenges
  4. These innovations may transform all chip design – from AI to traditional SoCs and beyond

“This might be a genuine inflection point in our industry,” notes Zalcberg, “one of those moments that could fundamentally change how we approach chip design.”
